Story By: RACE OF CHAMPIONS – BUFFALO, NY – Over the course of the Independence Day holiday weekend, Race of Champions 602 Dirt Sportsman Modified Series racers will have the opportunity to take a short drive in either direction of downtown Buffalo, New York and compete in two $1,000-to-win races. The doubleheader weekend will fill racers plates and fans will be able to enjoy a holiday weekend jam packed with exciting racing.
The Series makes its first stop at Freedom Motorsports Park near Arcade, New York, as the track runs the “Sahlen’s Night 30” to kick off the Independence Day Weekend celebrations with a big night of racing. The Series picks up again on Sunday with a Canada Day spectacular on July 2 at the New Humberstone Speedway in Port Colborne, Ontario with the “Canada Day 50” in Memory of Harry Sonnenberg.
Each track presents racers with a unique set of challenges along with $1,000-to-win on the line to win each night. Last season Brad Rouse of St. Catharines, Ontario and Chad Chevalier of Port Colborne, Ontario, captured victories at Freedom, while Cody McPherson of St. Catharines, Ontario took home the win in the Series first event at Humberstone.
“This is an exciting series and a lot of fun,” stated Brad Rouse, who is the defending Series champion. “We have a bunch of great racers to compete with and it goes back and forth. Freedom and Humberstone offer some unique challenges and we will all be up for them when the green flag drops. We are looking forward to getting things going and having an exciting Series. Hopefully, we can put it all together again and repeat as champions.”
